A non-linear optimal control problem for a hyperbolic system of first order equations on a line in the case of degeneracy of the initial condition line is considered. This problem describes many natural, economic and social processes, in particular, the optimality of the Slutsky demand, the theory of bio-population, etc. The research is based on the method of characteristics and the use of nonstandard variations of the increment of target functional, which leads to the construction of efficient computational algorithms.

In this paper, we show how to use sequential Monte Carlo methods to compute expectations of functionals of diffusions at a given time and the gradients of these quantities w.r.t. the initial condition of the process. In some cases, via the exact simulation of the diffusion, there is no time discretization error, otherwise the methods use Euler discretization. We illustrate our approach on both high- and low-dimensional problems from optimal control and establish that our approach substantially outperforms standard Monte Carlo methods typically adopted in the literature. The methods developed here are appropriate for solving a certain class of partial differential equations as well as for option pricing and hedging.
